Dairy farmers in central Kenya grow maize for forage and food. They use maize planting density, weeding regimes and thinning to regulate the quantity of forage from both maize and weeds. The objective ...
The effect of weeding regimes and maize planting density on quality of maize forage and grain yields

Kivuva, B. M.; Mburu, Mary W. K.; Maina, J. M.; Murdoch, A. J.; Mwangi, D. M. (Kenya Agricultura Researh Institute, 2013-10)

The effects of weeding regimes and maize planting density on maize growth and yield were evaluated during the 2001/2 short rains in the Centre Highlands of Kenya. Weeding regimes were weed free (w1), weedy (w2), pre-emergence ...
Impacts of weeds and weeding regimes on maize forage yields and quality for resource poor maize-dairy farmers in Central Kenya

Mburu, Mary W. K.; Murdoch, A. J.; Maina, J. M.; Kivuva, B. M.; Njuguna, J. M.; Mwangi, D. M. (2004-06)

Integrated pest management options to improve maize forage yield and quality for small-scale dairy farmers in central Kenya

Mburu, Mary W. K.; Murdoch, A. J.; Njuguna, J. M.; Lukuyu, B.; Musembi, F.; Mwangi, D. M. (Association of Applied Biologists, 2003)
